This week’s fare offers more special photo effects, some shameless self promotion, and the hope that you will appreciate the strangeness so much you cannot resist buying something you like.  All the renderings require 1024 X 768 resolution and the absence of the copy right watermark to appreciate the full impact of the end results.  If you cannot bring yourself to purchase one of my unique and original works, check into letting me create something from your own photographic masterpieces.  For only $3, it beats trying to figure out how to do it yourself.  Enjoy.

This week begins with showing off four new digitally matted pictures, using four variations of matting compositions which help to accent photo highlights, raise the quality of the content, and challenge traditional matting techniques with some unusual flair.  Using a digital photo frame to display your matted photos gives you the ability to have an excellent showcase for your creative works at far less cost than matting and framing your pictures using traditional methods.  If you are still not convinced that a digital picture frame is the answer, these compositions can be printed and framed using traditional frames, or as screen wallpapers on your computer.  I use all three ways to keep my pictures out where I can see them.  Well, it is time to deliver the goods.

My first picture of the week was used to make a birthday card for my brother last month, so I thought I would run it through the presentation cycle for this month.  I took the picture in Overland Park because I thought the sculptor did a good job of capturing that mental state of children when they glide off into their imagination and spend time living where they want to be, rather than where they are.

Plane, bird, or rocket, this metal kid is on his own cloud.

Second on the list is a photograph with more subtle matting highlights, and the bright fall colors of a neighborhood walk on a sunny day.  It is always great to watch the leaves turn vivid colors and think about somebody else having to rake them up when they finally come down.  This year has not been so nice around here, so I got out one of my shots from the past.+

I am always a sucker for autumn colors.

The third matted photo was also one of my favorite past fall pictures.  I did something a bit different with the combination of highlights, textures, and the accent lines around the outer matte edges.  These kinds of simple variations would turn out quite expensive if they were produced using traditional matting. 

Country Club Plaza - a nice place for colorful autumn shots.

My last photo in the sequence was taken on the grounds of the Nelson Art Museum in Kansas City.  Some might immediately ask, “Where are the people?” My answer is that for some reason, I seem to live in the part of our dimension where I can get lots of shots with no people in them, even in crowded places.  It might be somewhat related to all the time I spent in my younger years talking to people’s backs at parties.  I just seem to be where nobody else wants to go for the moment.  At any rate, the matting for this photo accents that unusual perspective with its nebulous outer limits quality of colors and blobs.  You have just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

Picture if you will, being alone...very alone.

Drawing on the digitally matted photos of some nice flowers that I posted last week, this week I will provide some of my ideas for creating digital photo frame calendar designs.  Among the most popular of these designs, I made four distinct presentations for my audience to enjoy.  The first offering takes the basic matted photo, and dresses it up with a calendar page and complementary accents to further enhance the photo.  All the blooms came from some pictures I took in Overland Park, Kansas on a weekend outing to celebrate the coming of fall.

Make the months come alive with unusual digital photo frame calendar designs.

Next in line is a spherical design using the flower photo as a backdrop for the calendar page which I think makes a festive looking picture suitable for the upcoming holiday season.  The bright colors in the matte give the piece a nice ornamental look to pass the time through the month.  Many thematic variations of color and subject make this design a versatile way to show off your favorite photo subjects in an unusual way.  I say this is unusual because I have not seen similar work elsewhere.

Christmas is around the corner, so why not put some festive calendar designs into your photo frame.

My third creation expands the photo matting from the original picture matte to create a rich texture to the blended metallic background.  I have not seen anyone posting this type of blended design for calendar creations, as most photographic sites concentrate on plain Jane, rubber stamp templates to sock your pictures into, without offering much else for people to choose from. 

Special days are easy to remember with a calendar like this to put them on.

My final picture returns to another variation on the cubical digital calendar design that also shows a lot of promise for a wide variety of unique compositions fueled by the focus of the individual picture which provides it starting point.  If you are tired of the same old calendar designs available from year to year, digital photo calendars might turn out to be one of your best choices for arriving with something people will really notice.  Of course, if you want to add personalized events, holidays, and other notable information in the design, we can add those to the mix as well.

No photo frame? Use these images as computer screen wallpapers to dazzle your eyes while you work!
